Changes....

Me, sittin' here.. supposed to be studyin' dis strategy management subject.. suddenly thought bout changes. countless times hav i said at times like this (xm + study weeks), "Next sem nak wat btol2". but at the end of the next sem, same old same old. Regrets...

So, how do u change urself? why can't u change urself? lack of motivation? initiative? or just b'coz deep down inside, THAT change is something undesired. hmm.. questions to ask urself.

Do people even change? how did he/she do that? how's the strategy? is it cost leadership or differentiation? How did he/she achieved competitive advantage? Is he/she that good in configuring the core competencies and resources? or am i juz mumbling away wit strategy management concepts that has little to do with personal life changes? Sun Tzu's Art of War can be adapted to business? can strategy management theory adapted to personal life????

wuteva...

The 'Art' of Studying for exams

"I just can't understand you people in this country. Why are you guys so obsessed by exam marks?"
- Professor Andy Chan

Well, dat was almost wut he said in a CFD class sometime ago. He's from Hong Kong btw. Anyway, he was talking about people who came study in university should like emphasise more on gaining the knowledge than just about getting 'flying colours'. hahaha. He's quite rite though, if we (or just me) do come to university to really gain the knowledge of wut we came to learn, we won't really be worried much when exam is near. Coz if we really learn the things dat we learn (and wit great interests and determination), meaning we can easily answers the xm paper with the 'knowledge' that we have learned/digest/etc.

BUT, this is not the case here. It's study week. 4 papers for me this exam season. The thing dats been buggin me is, whats the best way in studying/preparing for exams? make notes while we read the notes? well, i tried dat many times but usually stops even before manage to write even half of the paper i tore from my CLEAN notepad. hah! What i usually do is just sit/lie down/walking around and read the notes. Oftenly loudly. But, i hav a really serious problem of concentration. I'm easily distracted by wuteva, even a word in my mind/surroundings/picture in the notes. So, its kinda slow usually reading. and i don't even know if i really remember what i read. hah!

So, wut actually the best method? Nevermind wut i shud had done. Its wut i can do now! Dreaming too much of 'not having to pay back' to MARA coz i would grad in 1st Class! but still struggle to find an efficient method of reaching it...

hmmmm......

p.s. its almost 3 a.m. and i'm off playing my guitar!
